On-air questions: OK, Mike. Today is the start of our show’s 13th season. And real Any Questions heads know it all started because of crosswords. In honor of our origins and our lucky 13th season, today I’ve brought some crossword clues to celebrate. And all of today’s answers appeared in “New York Times” crosswords.
1. From 2021, 13 letters: NOTED U.S. ROCK GROUP, referring to a site about 200 miles from Pierre?
2. From 2005, nine-letters starting with: LAST PERSON, PROFESSIONALLY?
3. From 2019, a five-letter answer: COUNTRY WHOSE NAME ANAGRAMS TO AN ISLAND WHEN ITS FOURTH LETTER IS DOUBLED, and as an extra hint I’ll tell you that the country is relatively close to us while the island is definitely not.
4. A seven-letter answer, clued in 2004 as JUPITER’S HOME and in 1997 as KEY SETTING?
5. A six-letter answer, clued in 1996 as IT’S NAMED FOR THE DUKE OF YORK and in 2014 as EASTERN TERMINUS OF THE ERIE CANAL?
